How To Pick A Sophisticated Dress

Sunday, 25 June 2017

Every now and then we find ourselves reaching for the same thing in our wardrobe. Whether it's those comfy jeans, or that go to dress for a special occasion (that's not quite special enough for a new dress). We all do it. Even I do. Currently, I am at a point in my life where I am fed up of fast fashion. I've had enough of not having space in my wardrobe. And after another wardrobe cleanse. I want to downsize my wardrobe.

This doesn't mean that I will constantly be recycling items in my wardrobe, but more that I will be a lot more selective of the pieces that I buy. And once I have had enough of a certain thing, I'm going to try and either sell it, or donate it (dependant on the item).

When I visited St Martin's Courtyard a few weeks back, I was kindly gifted this gorgeous dress from L.K. Bennett and it's the perfect every occasion dress. I can wear this during the spring summer for a variety of different things. From afternoon tea, to dinner to meetings. It's elegant, sophisticated and is such a timeless piece. Again, it's a combination of monochrome with a structured fit. Something I currently can not get enough of.

Alternatively, the spice things up a bit, I could easily switch this look up by adding a few different accessories to brighten the entire outfit. By adding a pair of coloured shoes, a different handbag, I could quickly switch the look from classic to edgy.

For me, when it comes to looking for that perfect dress, there are a few things I look for. Length, structure and colour. Keep these in mind when shopping and you're sure to find the perfect dress.
